Thank you, Guadalupe and Dragona. I think I am most pleased with Guadalupe's translation for #1, Kane's translation for #2, and unsure about #3.

More context on #3. The organization is the YMCA of Greater Richmond. As you may know, the Y is an international organization, and I have seen the proper name YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) translated to (Asociacion Cristiana de Jovenes) on many of the Y websites in Latin America. I don't have a problem going with "La YMCA del Gran Richmond" if in fact "Gran + city" is a common way of describing a metropolitan area.

Although you cannot always trust Wikipedia, this site may help: es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_(Virginia).

I haven't found relevant or related sites in Spanish which use "Great Richmond" in English. The few sites I came accross prefer the use of "Gran Richmond".

I would then go for "la YMCA de Gran Richmond". I think it's not necessary to add the article there (del = de EL). You wouldn't say "la YMCA de *la Nueva York", but "la YMCA de Nueva York".
